Slovakia becomes the first customer to deploy the Carl-Gustaf M4 System

Defence and security company Saab has delivered Carl-Gustaf M4 multi-role weapons to Slovakia. Delivery took place in mid July 2017.

The Slovak Armed Forces are currently equipped with several units of the Carl-Gustaf M3 multi-role weapon. In order to further strengthen their defence capability, Slovakia’s defence ministry decided to acquire the new Carl-Gustaf M4 system, which has recently been delivered, making Slovakia the first country to deploy this new weapon.

Canada plans to buy 1,148 new 7.62 mm C6A1 FLEX General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) from Colt Canada under a CAD32.1 million (USD25.7 million) deal including related spares and accessories, Minister of National Defence Harjit Sajjan announced on 26 July.

Colt Canada will begin deliveries of the GPMG in September 2018 and will complete the order in June 2019. The Canadian Army’s current C6 GPMG has been in service for more than 30 years and a number have been removed from active service.

The C6A1 will feature improvements such as a polymer butt and the capacity to attach pointing and sighting devices.

The current C6 machine guns were procured over 30 years ago. Some have been removed from service due to wear and tear and others are reaching the end of their service life. This purchase will provide the Canadian Armed Forces with a modern and reliable weapon to support training and operations.

The new C6A1 FLEX (flexible) is designed to be carried by soldiers or attached to vehicles such as the new Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle. The new machine gun will feature a durable polymer butt stock instead of the current wooden style. Additionally, soldiers will be able to attach pointing devices and optical sighting systems to the new weapon to help increase their operational effectiveness.

The contract with Colt Canada will result in approximately 13 new jobs and contribute to maintaining approximately 100 jobs at the company.

• The procurement includes related equipment such as a cleaning and repair kit, spare parts, and sling to carry the weapon.

During this year the Army has obtained thousands of ballistic vests of the SPCS (Soldier Plate Carrier System) Magnum TAC-1 , including the appropriate ballistic plates from the United States. At the moment, 500 sets of ballistic vests Magnum TAC-1 (Soldier Plate Carrier System) with ballistic panels (SPCS) are purchased, which will be used to replace ballistic protection material used by ACR soldiers in foreign operations. Purchases are made via the NSPA (NATO Support and Procurement Agency) with a declared delivery deadline for the supplier by the end of October this year.

In 2017, the Ministry of Defence also entered into an agreement with Argun to supply 5,500 ballistic vests including the ballistic plates that had successfully passed the troop tests. The first thousand sets will be delivered by the end of November this year, with the remaining four and a half thousand over the next three years. This will ensure the ongoing current need for the army in the upcoming period.

On Thursday, August 31, the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic, represented by the deputy for the armament and acquisition division Daniel Kostoval, signed an agreement with PRAMACOM-HT, spol. S r.o. to acquire the Modular Combat Set (MBK) and the MBK Training Set.

Deliveries of three MBK sets and a training set of a total value of CZK 197 million will take place between 2017 and 2018. The implementation of the public contract will significantly increase the operational capabilities of the Army of the Czech Republic in command, control and tactical connection.

These modern sets have already been developed by the Ministry of Defense in the past years and have been designed especially for selected units of the 4th Rapid Deployment Brigade. They will now be supplied to soldiers of other units.
